We are dependent on the weather.

I noticed that again today when I was looking for the advertised event called “The Amazing Race,” on the old McDonald’s car park, Matthews Avenue, here in Kaitaia; but there was no activity whatsoever.

I had a fair idea why nobody was there.

Youth Week 2016 is celebrated at the present time here in our town, and “The Amazing Race” is for those who are 12-16 years of age. The advert says, “Stage Show, Spot prizes, Guest speakers, Sausage sizzle, Displays, activities and more …”

Walking along Commerce Street on my way home and looking into one of the shop windows I saw one of “The Amazing Race” posters, but diagonal across the poster was pasted:

“POSTPONED DUE TO SATURDAYS WEATHER FORECAST.”

We know that we are dependent on the weather, but do we also know that we are dependent on the Living God, who made heaven and earth?

God made heaven and earth

Only God is self-existent, we are dependent beings.

We cannot always depend on the weather forecast, but we can depend on the Living God.
